This seems wrong; the ABI is that these flags are only set in ET_EXEC and
ET_DYN objects. This means the assembler should have nothing to do with
them; rather, the linker should set them based on the build attributes in
its input files, if producing ET_EXEC or ET_DYN output. (And there should
be testcases added to the linker testsuite for this: that they are set
for such output, but not for ld -r links.)
